In my mid to late teens people would occasionally tell me I looked like Kate Bush (back in those days she was long past her most famous but people still kind of remembered her).
I'm not really convinced we resemble each other that much facially, but we certainly have similar hair:
She's the only person I recall westerners ever comparing me to.
From time to time Koreans would tell me I looked like Drew Barrymore. Bloody hell - I'm not even blonde?
I thought it was utter nonsense, and I didn't worry too much about, it until one day I mentioned it to my husband while we were watching one of her films. My husband looked at her, and then looked at me and then back again, and said "you know what....you do look a little bit like her..." "but don't worry darling, you look much much better, of course..." Hahahahaha (he would say that).
Oh to be likened to Audrey Hepburn...
I would enjoy this thread more if people would post pictures, as I'm not always familiar with the celebrities you are talking about. |

| There's a famous German soccer player in my text book who looks EXACTLY like me ... every time I've used it for any class, the students refuse to believe its not me. |

I don't really look like anyone famous, unless you count IloveBDT, whom I used to get mistaken for fairly often, when we lived in the same town.
I've only ever gotten told I look like a famous person once, and that was Alyson Hannigan, which prompted a "huh?"
After watching the Bourne Ultimatum last week, I think Ody looks a fair bit like Joan Allen

| Sadly, my students at school call me "Rooney" after the Man Utd football player. Unfortunately, I think it's more based on my appearance than my footballing skills. As an Everton fan, it's doubly annoying as he's not exactly a player I admire! |
